The visit marked the highest-level visit by a U.S. official to the West Bank since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken meets with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas at the Muqata compound in Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Sunday.
But the group has long been seen as out of touch and irrelevant by many Palestinians in both the Israeli-occupied West Bank and in Gaza. Abbas, who turns 88 next week, is deeply unpopular among Palestinians, many of whom see him and the authority as enablers of the Israeli occupation. Abbas is in the 18th year of what was supposed to be a four-year term as head of the authority.
Abbas called for “an immediate halt to the devastating Israeli war on Gaza and urged the swift provision of humanitarian aid, including medical supplies, food, water, electricity, and fuel, to the war-torn enclave,” WAFA said.
